The site is the wreck of a B-29 Superfortress that crashed in bad weather in the Peak District on 3rd November 1948 with the loss of all on board. Still not sure I can get my head round the sheer force of the impact with hill that tore it apart, or that if they'd descended only a few seconds later, they'd have surely missed the hill altogether.

While I'm on a roll...
